Default Good question...
About anxiety or depression. I have my bouts with both but in this guy's opinion it's "situational" and does not require medication I guess.

Which is fine I guess? I don't know. I'm at the mercy of whatever is recommended. I guess we all are.

I don't have a big beef with WCB as much as he does, clearly. I'm not sure what happened in the past to sour him this way but I kind of found it amusing! He has been a psychiatrist for 30 years he said, and has only taken WCB cases a handful of times.

In 30 years you'd think he'd have run into PCS more than once but... Nope.

About it: October 26, 2012 I fell backward on an icy parking lot at work. I was on Workers Comp for 9 months. My PCS : everyday headaches became once in a while headaches, and neck pain became manageable. Still have occasional mild dizziness, sometimes fullness in the ears, convergence insufficiency, sequencing struggles, short term memory struggles, verbal processing delays. CT neg, MRI neg. Therapies: prism glasses, acupuncture, icing neck, resting, supplementing, Elavil 20mg at bedtime.

NEW: Completed 12 weeks of physical therapy and returned to work full time.

About me: I'm a marketing manager, a mom with a blended family and wife to a heart attack survivor. I believe my brain injury taught me more than it cost me. I'm grateful to still be me!
